I could use a color photo of a Copper bronze dash or where to find one on the web
I want to confirm the layout of all items and the color of the Dash Pad and the Steering wheel grips, I believe they match the Copper color of the seat vinyl??

I'm not sure if Plymouth offered a copper dash and dash pad for 59.

I'll check my paperwork when I get back home. That might give us some answers.
Hope it's in there. If not, I've got more research to do.

Matthew and his dad have most of my paperwork I collected for the Plymouth, including information on the interior, so I am only guessing now, but I am fairly certain copper was available as a dash and dashpad color. I will be looking forward to learning the facts on this :)

I'm pretty sure that a copper interior used a dash in Kingsman Brown colors, with similar colored carpet and accents. See photos of Tom Fox's hardtop which I think used that color along with his special seat colors. Try contacting Bob Hinds, who is the Plymouth club advisor for 1959, his car has a copper interior done correctly.

And I'm curious about the following: Has anyone seen a black 59 Sport Fury with copper interior, wasn't supposed to be available due to color harmonizing but

I think it wouldn't look too bad these days... although the dash would be brown against the black body.

And, has anyone got or seen in person any 1959 mopar with the air suspension? I saw a Dodge station wagon so equipped long ago but need a memory jog.

Last, looking for info on original engine colors for the 1961 Plymouth with Sonoramic engine... was it silver, or silver with gold valve colors, or red and gold like 1960. Probably need an old timer who saw one way back when, anyone remember them?

Thanks

I'm not sure if copper was available as a dash color. I know they had brown but you dont want that in combination with a copper interior.

I got all the interior colors at home and with which color (body) they go.
Just need to go home and look it up :lol:

So far my best bet for a copper interior is:
Copper vinyl with the cloth with copper in it for the seats
Black carpet, dash and dash pad

I think dashes and pads in color of the car were only blue and green. Never seen something different than these 2 and black
